At the end of the eighteenth century emerges
the category of the self-proclaimed hisendats,
a class of dominium utile proprietors or
landowners of a certain economical and social
potential. In this article, a post-morteminventory
is analysed and transcribed. Not only its material
affluence such as assets and real estate is
evaluated and commented on, but it also
approaches the cultural references and literary
universes of an eighteenth century hisendat
through an examination of the library inherited
by Jaume Pont de Cabanes
